It's hopeless.

The Tele neck is made to a scale length of 25.5".

The Mustang is a short-scale 24.75" body.

You'd need to re-locate the entire bridge assembly.

Arjay - aren't Mustangs 24" scale, not 24.75" scale? Of course that makes it even more impossible to change necks.

You can order a Warmoth neck in 24" scale, and have it made with a tele headstock ;)

+1

USACG might also accommodate an order like that (talk to Tommy, he's pretty flexible).
